Chapter 7 Human Skin

After such a small episode, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were not in a hurry to go back. They found an inn in Chang'an City and prepared to stay in Chang'an City for a few days, and waited until the situation was clear and they left.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, took two monsters with them and used up breakfast, and then came to Zhang Manager Zhang's restaurant again. But I don't know if they came too early, and the restaurant had not opened the door to do business. Looking at the closed door panel, Bai Wuqiu tilted his head and said to Gui Bugui: "Old guy, can that fat man named Zhang run away with fear? Even if he is not afraid of us, he will always worry about being silenced by Bai Jiang, right?"

"Baijiang is a demon, where can he hide? We can be found by it on the God of Wealth Island, let alone a mortal who has no ability." Gui Bugui lay on the door panel and looked inside through the gap. Then he continued, "Fatty Zhang is a smart man. Knowing that he is guilty of escaping, so he stays here. He is just a transit to convey messages, and Baijiang will not be difficult for him..."

Speaking of this, Gui Bugui paused. After looking up at the sky, he turned to Wu Mian and continued, "At this time, the wine shop cannot be opened. Should we go around or go to the Jin Palace? If you are lucky, you may be able to see Baijiang there."

"You have already decided on something, and ask me if it's unnecessary?" After the white-haired man turned white, he continued, "You really want to go find Baijiang?"

Gui Bugui smiled and said, "No matter how you say it is, it is a big brother who has no desires. For the sake of this silly boy, I am embarrassed to be as experienced as him. It is better to help someone. Even if you don't go on stage to perform, it's not too much to shout below."

Seeing that Wu Mian stopped talking, Gui Bugui led the lead and returned to the gate of the King of Jin's mansion together.

Although King Yang Guang of Jin went to Jiangnan to take office and was not in the mansion, the rules still came in the palace. The corner gates in the mansion were wide open, and several older servants were cleaning the streets in front of the mansion. From time to time, messengers from other places and foreign places sent letters to the mansion, and the servants and maids in the mansion were in and out.

Wu Mian, Gui Bugui stood across the street with two monsters. After the old guy glanced at the corner door, he said to the white-haired man: "Without waiting for Fatty Zhang, I will go in and take a walk first. I may not be able to find anything. Yang Guang has already gone to Jiangnan. Even if there is really any monster to assist him, he must follow him to Jiangnan. But it is better to go in and take a look. Even if we don't go in, Bai Jiang will find a way to go in and check..."

Before Gui Bugui finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a housekeeper looked like a steward ran out of the corner gate in a daze. After he ran to the street, he seemed to remember something. After hesitating for a while, he returned to the palace again. Then a young servant called everyone who cleaned the door back to the palace, and the corner gate was closed immediately.

"What happened..." Gui Bugui's expression on his face was a little strange. After pausing for a moment, he slowly said: "Fatty Zhang is too anxious..."

Originally, Gui Bugui planned to go in alone to see it, but now something seemed to be happening in the mansion. Now the old guy changed his plan and used the invisibility method. He brought two monsters into the palace with Wu Mian. After coming in, Gui Bugui frowned. After looking at Wu Mian, he said, "It smells bloody..."

In addition to Gui Bugui, Bai Wuqiu also smelled a faint smell of blood. Erlangzi relied on his talent as a monster and quickly found the source of the bloody smell in a study room in the palace. When they arrived at the study room, they saw the butler who had just left in a panic and a few servants in the study room. A bloody human skin was spread flat in front of him...

This human skin opened its mouth from its neck and took out the flesh and blood inside. Only a chubby head was left on the whole human skin. It was the owner of the wine shop Zhang who was exposed by Wu Mian and Gui Bugui yesterday. I didn't expect that he would lose his life for a day and a night. He became like this.

Seeing the housekeeper not speaking, one of the servants couldn't help but speak, "Erto, didn't you say you wanted to report to the official? Why are you back? You can't hide it from leaving such a human skin here. You didn't do this, what are you afraid of? Now, besides the emperor and the crown prince, you are the biggest in our family. Are you still afraid of the people in the yamen?"

"I'm afraid of causing disaster to Your Highness King Jin!" The housekeeper took a deep breath and continued, "Your Highness told me before leaving that he was not in the capital and let us avoid trouble. Now that this kind of human skin appears in the study, who can explain it clearly? You and I are young, and it is a serious crime to implicate His Highness King Jin... I will write a letter, and you use the relationship in the mansion to find General Huwei. A 800-mile-rushing army was submitted to Your Highness. This human skin is buried deep in the backyard. What should you do when Your Highness speaks? Lao Zhang asked me to drink last night, why did he die here..."

After saying that, the butler looked at Fatty Zhang's human skin, and felt a little cold and afraid that he would not stay in the study. The two people around him looked at the door of the study. He did not dare to use the paper and pen of King Jin to return to another place to find paper and pen to write letters.

While the housekeeper and servant left the study room, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and two monsters had already entered the study room. Looking at the human skin spread on the ground, they frowned. After Gui Bugui walked around in the same place, he said to Wu Mian: "It doesn't count if a person dies and eats his flesh and blood, and he doesn't even have his soul left. Now he wants to summon the soul and ask who can't do it..."

"There is more than one monster around Yang Guang." Wu Mian did not accept Gui Bugui's words. He saw other things. After pausing, he continued, "Bai Jiang didn't tell the truth..."

After Gui Bugui nodded, he sighed again and said to himself: "Fatty, you are too anxious, old man, I didn't give you a deadline. Who told you to come in that night..."

While talking, Gui Bugui's eyes kept wandering around the study. After pausing, the old guy continued, "Fatty Zhang didn't die here. He was killed in other places. After eating the meat, he was still skinned by the 'man'. The study was too clean, just a little blood, not like a place where people eat people."

"If it's not here, then was he killed and eaten there?" Bai Wuqiu did not understand what his 'bird father' meant, and continued: "Old guy, did you say that Fatty Zhang is still in this mansion? Then where did it kill Fatty Zhang?"

"Silly boy, where would you go if you come to find clues?" Gui Bugui looked at Bai Wuqiu. When he saw this cheap son thinking for a long time but couldn't say anything, he could only ask and answer himself: "Fatty Zhang's seventh generation has not been exposed for sending the message to Yaoshan, so he is naturally not a fool. He will not come if he sees a place like the study. If he wants to check it, he will first check Yang Guang's dormitory..."

As soon as Gui Bugui finished speaking, the door of the study suddenly opened. The servant who had just persuaded the butler to go to report to the official walked in. He could not see the people who had already hidden themselves. After walking directly to the human skin, he sneered and said to Fatty Zhang's human skin: "I originally wanted to borrow your human skin to lead the people behind the scenes who instructed you to investigate. Unfortunately, the butler discovered it. It seems that he can only go back and ask about your soul. It's really troublesome. I am a demon, not your monk..."

After the servant spoke, he looked dissatisfied. After saying that, he looked back and found that no one noticed it. He was deeply touched in the human skin. After taking it for a long time, he finally found an animal bone of the size of a finger in the abdomen of the human skin.
